Molecular insights into supercritical water gasification process of polyoxymethylene plastics.

ABSTRACT: Effective plastic management is crucial in addressing the growing environmental challenges posed by plastic pollution. Among various plastics, polyoxymethylene (POM) stands out as a widely used engineering thermoplastic with significant applications in industries . Innovative recycling solutions are essential to mitigate its environmental impact. This study investigates the supercritical water gasification (SCWG) of POM plastics at a molecular level using reactive molecular dynamics simulations. The research aims to provide insights into the factors influencing the SCWG process. Key findings reveal that temperature significantly affects reaction mechanisms, while the primary syngas products include hydrogen , carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. A notable trend observed is the increase in
